Fatima,
the only daughter of the Holy prophet of Islam, was born in Mecca on 20
Th. Jumadi al- thani 18 BH. The good and noble lady Khadijah and the
apostle of Allah bestowed all their natural love, care and devotion on
their lovable and only child Fatima, who in her turn was extremely fond
of her parents. The princess of the House of the Prophet was very
intelligent, accomplished and cheerful. Her sermons, poems and sayings
serve, as an index to her strength of character and nobility of mind.
Her virtues gained her the title "Our Lady of light".

She
was tall, slender and endowed with great beauty, which caused her to be
called " AZ - Zahra" " (the Lady of Light). She was called az - Zahra"
because her light used to shine among those in Heaven. After arriving in
Medina, she was married to ` Ali, in the first year hijrah, and she
gave birth to two sons and two daughters. Her children, Hasan, Husayn,
Zaynab and umm kulthum are well - known for their piety, goodness and
generosity .Their strength of character and actions changed the course
of history.

The Holy Prophet said, "Fatima is a peace of my heart".

Every
morning on his way to the Mosque, he would pass by Fatima's house and
say: "peace be on you O the Household of prophet hood and the source of
Messengership".

Fatima
is famous and acknowledged as the "Leader of all the women of the
world" because the Prophethood of Muhammad would not have been
everlasting without her. The Prophet is the perfect example for men, but
could not be so for women. For all the verses revealed in the Holy
Quran for women,Fatima is the perfect model, who translated every year
into action. In her lifetime, she was a complete woman, being Daughter,
wife and Mother at the some time.

Fatima was very
generous; and none who come to her door, when away empty handed. She
never asked ` Ali for anything in her whole life. As a mother, she cared
for and brought up wonderful children; they have lifted their marks on
the face of the world, which time will not be able to erase. The death
of the Apostle, affected her very much and she was very sad and grief-
stricken and wept her heart out crying all the time. Fatima died in the
prime of her life at the age of eighteen, and was buried in jannatu
"l-Baqi ` Medina.
